Pochettino on European Super League
Chelsea welcome Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge in a London derby as the Premier League’s festive schedule continues.
Mauricio Pochettino bemoaned poor finishing and another setback in defeat to Wolves and will hope to pick up momentum here after a slow start to life in charge of the Blues.
Despite advancing to the Carabao Cup semi-finals after a dramatic end to their quarter-final with Newcastle, triumphing on penalties, Pochettino’s side are still languishing in mid-table.
Meanwhile, Roy Hodgson’s Eagles have had a mixed run in recent weeks, with a stunning draw at Manchester City a highlight, although the wait for a win extends to seven games after Danny Welbeck hit back for Brighton at Selhurst Park in a 1-1 draw.

Crystal Palace are looking a little lost as the first half reaches its conclusion, they've faded out of contention after starting well enough. Still, they only trail by one.

Gallagher curls in a high free-kick from just inside Palace's half, and his delivery is just too strong for Disasi to bring down and either head towards goal or nod it on for one of several team-mates gathered in the area.

Gusto's impressive display continues, as the French full-back steals the ball from Ayew deep inside his own half, then is involved in a quick-counter attack up the other end.

This game is becoming quite comfortable for Chelsea to dictate, as Palace sit off a little. Approaching half-time, Pochettino will be by far the happier manager.

A lovely switch of direction by Olise opens up a yard or two of space by the right touchline, but Lerma just mistimes his run and is immediately flagged for offside. It's been a fairly quiet shift for Petrovic so far.

Following a sweeping switch of play from left to right, a swift passing move sees Maatsen advance towards the area and have a shot partly blocked behind. Chelsea are increasingly dangerous now - having Nkunku to play off has apparently lightened the burden on their front men.

The home side are still bossing the ball, passing patiently around in midfield while seeking an opening, but Palace don't mind their opponents having more possession - they can counter-attack at speed.

After Palace fail to make the most of a free-kick at the other end, a typically rapid burst by Mudryk turns momentum on its head and ultimately wins Chelsea a corner on the left.
27 December 2023 20:02
Chelsea are building play from the back when Mateta steals the ball and then feeds Olise on the left. The latter then tries a first-time shot from 20 yards, but it is charged down by the first blue-shirted defender in front of him.
